Then there was rain
Life In Technicolor II
There’s a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street
Every night there, the headlights are glowing
There’s a cold war coming
On the radio I heard
Baby, it’s a violent world
Oh, love, don’t let me go
Won’t you take me where the street lights glow
I can hear it coming
I can hear the silent sound
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
Time came a creeping
Oh and time’s a loaded gun
(Every road is a ray of light)
It goes on
Time only can lead you on, still it’s
Such a beautiful night
Oh, love, don’t let me go
Won’t you take me where the street lights glow
I can hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
Ooouuh ooouuuh
Gravity, release me
And don’t ever hold me down
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
Glass Of Water
Scared of losing all the time
He wrote it in a letter
He was a friend of mine
He heard you could see your future
Inside a glass of water
The ripples and the rhymes
And he asked “Will I see heaven in mine?”
That is just the way it was
Nothing could be better
And nothing ever was
Oh they say you can see your future
Inside a glass of water
The riddles and the rhymes
Will I see heaven in mine?
Oh oh oh oh aaah
Son
Don’t ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling
To the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollowest of halos is no halo at all
Televisions selling plastic
Figurines of leaders
Saying nothing at all
And we chimed, stars in heaven align
Oh oh oh oh aah
Son
Don’t ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling
To the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
And what are we drinking when we’re done?
Glasses of water
Rainy Day
Then there was rain
The sky wore a veil of gold and gray
At night it was the bright of the moon with me
Time was just floating
Then there was rain
This town’s foundations are crumbling
To the ground comes a bit of a tumbling
And time just floated away
We can watch it and stay and we can listen
Oh, rainy day, come round
Sometimes I just want it to slow down
And we’re separated now
I’m down
But I love it when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house
Singing la la la la la la eh
And I spent the night with the Queen of Spain There’s no light over London today
My lonely little heart would’ve broke again
Times were vicious
Lost
Singing, deeper that the knife goes in the more you win
Just because I'm losing
You win but with less than when you begin
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Deeper that the knife goes in
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Oooooooooooooooh
Doesn't mean I will cross
Ooh, rainy day come round
Just because I'm hurting
Sometimes I just want it to slow down
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
We’re separated now
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
I’m down
No better and no worse
But I love it when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house
I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaaah
And every door I ever tried was locked
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaaah
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaaah
You might be a big fish
But I love it when you come over to the house
In a little pond
I love it when you come over to my house
Doesn't mean you've won
But I love it when you come over to the house
'Cause along may come
I love it when you come over to my house
A bigger one
And you'll be lost
Prospekt's March / Poppyfields
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Smoke is rising from the houses
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts
People burying their dead
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
I ask somebody what the time is
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
But time doesn't matter to them yet
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off…
People talking without speaking
Trying to take what they can get 42
I ask you if you remember
Prospekt, how could I forget? Those who are dead
Are not dead
Drums, here it comes They're just living in my head
Don't you wish that life can be as simple
As fish swimming round in a barrel? And since I fell
When you've got the gun For that spell
I am living them as well
Oh when I run, here it comes
We're just two little figures in a soup bowl Time is so short
Trying to get to any kind of control And I'm sure
But I wasn't one There must be something more
Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky Those who are dead
Here I lie on my own in a separate sky Are not dead
I don't wanna die on my own here tonight They're just living in my head
But here I lie on my own in a separate sky
And since I fell
For that spell
Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground
I am living them as well
Let me go boys let me go Time is so short
Push my boat from the highest cliff to the sea below And I'm sure
Rocks are waiting boys rocks await There must be something more
Swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey
You thought you might be a ghost
Now my feet won't touch the ground You thought you might be a ghost
Now my head won't stop You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You wait a lifetime to be found You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
Now my feet won't touch the ground
You thought you might be a ghost
Singing now my feet won't touch the ground You thought you might be a ghost
Now my head won't stop You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You wait a lifetime to be found You didn't get to heaven but you oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my feet won't touch the ground Those who are dead
Are not dead
They're just living in my head
Cemeteries Of London
Lovers In Japan / Reign Of Love
At night they would go walking 'till the breaking of the day
Lovers keep on the road your on Runners until the race is run
The morning is for sleeping
Soldiers you’ve got to soldier on Sometimes even right is
Through the dark streets they go searching to see god in their
wrong
own way
Save the night time for your weeping
They are turning my head out To see what I’m all about
Your weeping
Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I
have no doubt One day, were gonna get out
Singing la la la la la la ehh
And the night over London hey
Tonight, maybe we’re gonna run Dreamin’ of the Osaka sun
Ohh, ohh, ohhh Dreamin’ of when the morning comes
So we rode down to the river where the (something
something)
They are turning my head out To see what I’m all about
For the curses to be broken
Keeping my head down To see what it feels like now But I
We go underneath the arches where the witches are
have no doubt One day, the sun will come out
(something something)
There are ghost towns in the ocean
Reign of love
The ocean
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer
Singing la la la la la la ehh
This heavy load
And the night over London hey
Locusts will
Gunners in the houses and gunners in my head
Lift me up
And all the cemeteries in London
I’m just a prisoner
I see god come in my garden but I don’t know what he said
In a reign of love
For my heart it wasn’t open
Not open
Locusts will
Let us stop
Singing la la la la la la ehh
I wish I’d spoken
And the night over London hey
To the reign of love
Reign of love Once you go there was never, never an honest word I can't wait 'til the morning
By the church, we’re waiting That was when I ruled the world Wouldn't wanna change a thing
Reign of love (Ohhh)
My knees go praying People leaving all the time
It was the wicked and wild wind Inside a perfectly straight line
How I wish Blew down the doors to let me in Don't you wanna curve away
I’d spoken up Shattered windows and the sound of drums It's such
Or we’d be carried People couldn't believe what I'd become It's such a perfect day
In the reign of love It's such a perfect day
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate Now the sky could be blue
Yes (Chinese Sleep Chant)
Just a puppet on a lonely string I don't mind
Oh who would ever want to be king? Without you it's a waste of time
When it started
[repeat x4]
We had high hopes
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Now my back's on the line
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
My back's on the ropes Death And All His Friends
Be my mirror my sword and shield
When it started
My missionaries in a foreign field
We were alright All winter
For some reason I can't explain
But night makes a full of us in daylight We got carried
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Or way over on the rooftops just get merry
Never an honest word
Then we were dying of frustration All summer we just hurry
But that was when I ruled the world
Saying, "lord lead me not into tentation" So come over just be patient and don’t worry
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
But it's not easy when she turns you on So come over just be patient and don’t worry
Since they've gone
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
So come over just be patient and don’t worry
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
If you'd only So come over just be patient and don’t worry
Be my mirror my sword and shield
If you'd only say yes
My missionaries in a foreign field
Whether you will is anybody's guess So come over just be patient and don’t worry
For some reason I can't explain
God only god knows I'm trying my best
I know Saint Peter will call my name
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness And don’t worry…
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
So up they picked me by the big toe Try
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
I was held from the rooftop then they let go Try
If there's any screaming let the windows down Try
As I crawl to the ground Violet Hill
No I don't want to battle from the year to end
If you'd only Was a long and dark December I don't want to cycle and recycle revenge
If you'd only say yes From the rooftops I remember I don't want to follow death and all of his friends...
Whether you will is anybody's guess There was snow, white snow
God only god knows she won't let me rest
But i'm just so tired of this loneliness Clearly I remember
I've become so tired of this loneliness From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below Fix You
(Hidden Song)
When the future's architectured When you try your best but you don't succeed
Ooh... By a carnival of idiots on show When you get what you want but not what you need
You'd better lie low When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Ooh... Stuck in reverse
If you love me
Oh sleep Won't you let me know? And the tears come streaming down your face
I need When you lose something you can't replace
Sleep satisfies Was a long and dark December When you love someone but it goes to waste
Sleep satisfies When the banks became cathedrals could it be worse?
And the fog, became God
Oh sleep Lights will guide you home
I need Priests clutched onto bibles and ignite your bones
Sleep satisfies Hollowed out to fit their rifles And I will try to fix you
Sleep satisfies And the cross was held aloft
High up above or down below
Sleep Bury me in armor when you're too in love to let it go
Sleep...[sleep] When I’m dead and hit the ground but If you never try you'll never know
My love's opposed but unfolds Just what your worth
[repeat]
If you love me Lights will guide you home
Sleep satisfies Won't you let me know? and ignite your bones
Sleep satisfies And I will try to fix you
I don't want to be a soldier
Fall asleep Who the captain of some sinking ship Tears streaming down your face
Fall asleep Would stow, far below When you lose something you cannot replace
Sleep mystifies Tears streaming down your face and I
Sleep mystifies So if you love me
Why'd you let me go? Tears streaming down your face
Fall asleep I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Fall asleep I took my love down to violet hill Tears stream down your face and I
Sleep satisfies There we sat in the snow
Sleep satisfies All that time she was silent still Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
Sleep So if you love me And I will try to fix you
Sleep...[sleep] Won't you let me know?

[repeat]
Sleep satisfies
Sleep satisfies
Viva La Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Speed Of Sound
If you love me,
Won't you let me know?
How long before I get in
before it starts, before I begin
Strawberry Swing how long before you decide
before I know what it feels like
where to?
Where do I go?
They were sitting
if you've never tried then you'll never know
They were sitting in the strawberry swing
how long do I have to climb
Every moment was so precious
up on the side of this mountain of mine
They were sitting
look up, I look up at night
They were talking in the strawberry swing
planets are moving at the speed of light
Everybody was for fighting
climb up, up in the trees
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
every chance that you get
is a chance you seize
Cold, cold water
how long am I gonna can stand
Bring me round
with my head stuck under the sand
Now my feet won't touch the ground
I'll start before I can stop
Cold, cold water
before I see thing the right way up
What ya say?
It's such
all that noise, all that sound
It's such a perfect day
all those places I got found
It's such a perfect day
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
I remember
birds came flying from the underground
We were walking up to strawberry swing
if you could see it then you'd understand
 Home, home where I wanted to go
ideas that you'll never find
or the inventors could never design Home, (you) home where I wanted to (are) go
the buildings that you put up Home, (you) home where I wanted to (are) go
Japan and China... all lit up
the sign that I couldn't read
Yellow
or the light that I couldn't see
some things you have to believe
Look at the stars
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
look how they shine for you
and everything you do
all that noise, all that sound
yeah they were all yellow
all those places I got found
I came along
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
I wrote a song for you
to show how it all began
and all the things you do
birds came flying from the underground
and it was called yellow
if you could see it then you'd understand
So then I took my turn
oh wh at a thing to have done
all those signs I knew what they meant
and it was all yellow
something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
your skin
ooh
oh yeah your skin and bones
words go flying at the speed of sound
turn into something beautiful
to show how it all began
and you know
birds came flying from the underground
you know I love you so
if you could see it then you'd understand
you know I love you so
oh, when you see it then you'll understand

I swam across
The Scientist
I jumped across for you
oh what a thing to do
Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry,
'cos you were all yellow
You don’t know how lovely you are.
I drew a line
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
I drew a line for you
Tell you I set you apart.
oh what a thing to do
and it was all yellow
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
Oh, lets go back to the start.
and your skin
Running in circles, coming in tales,
oh yeah your skin and bones
Heads are a science apart.
turn into something beautiful
and you know
Nobody said it was easy,
for you I bleed myself dry
It's such a shame for us to part.
for you I bleed myself dry
Nobody said it was easy,
No-one ever said it would be this hard,
it's true
Oh take me back to the start.
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
I was just guessing at numbers and figures,
look how they shine for
Pulling your puzzles apart.
look how they shine for you
Questions of science, science and progress,
look how they shine for you
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
look how they shine
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me,
look at the stars
Oh and I rush to the start.
look how they shine for you
Running in circles, chasing tails,
and all the things that you do
And coming back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,

oh its such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No-one ever said it would be so hard.

Im going back to the start.

oh, ooooo,
ah, ooooo,
oh, ooooo,
oh, ooooo

Clocks

Lights go out and I can't be saved

Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
Singing

Come out of things unsaid

Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed

Singing
You are
You are

Confusion that never stops

The closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know
Singing come out upon my seas
Curse missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease

Singing
you are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are

And nothing else compares

Oh nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are, you are

Home, home where I wanted to go
